CARLSBAD, CA (May 22, 2017) – With four stunning rounds including two 65’s on Thursday and Friday, Lexi Thompson, a COBRA PUMA GOLF athlete, dominated the competition, capturing her eighth career LPGA victory at the Kingsmill Championship Presented by JTBC. Thompson, currently leading the LPGA in greens in regulation, and ranked second in driving distance, bombed her way to victory using COBRA Golf equipment, and wearing PUMA Golf apparel, accessories and footwear from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection.
“Another great win for Lexi,” said Bob Philion, President & CEO COBRA PUMA GOLF. “She is a dynamic and determined golfer – one who plays with confidence and style. With a new KING F7+ driver, and stylish, performance-ready footwear and apparel, she is fully equipped with the innovative, game-changing equipment needed to help fuel her game. We look forward to many more wins this season.”
Thompson relied on her COBRA Golf equipment to help fuel her excellent play and ultimately her win. Her bag includes the KING F7+ Driver which utilizes three weight settings for CG adjustability, a Forged Ti-811 face, TeXtreme Carbon Fiber Crown and MyFly8 Technology. The driver also comes equipped with COBRA CONNECT Powered by Arccos embedded directly into the grip, which allows golfers to track the distance and accuracy of every drive by simply pairing their club with the free Arccos Driver smartphone app. Golfers can now enjoy longer drives, share their success, and use data to play better golf.
